Death of Tupac Shakur’s mum could spark battle over £100m fortune


Death of Tupac Shakur’s mum could spark battle over £100m fortune

Tupac Shakur’s £100million estate could be thrown into chaos after the death of his mum.
Afeni Shakur passed away on Tuesday aged 69 and a cause of death has not yet been released.
Afeni was the inspiration behind one of the legendary rapper’s most iconic songs, Dear Mama, and oversaw his legacy after he passed away almost 20 years ago.
The rapper was shot as he cruised through Las Vegas with Death Row Record boss Marion ‘Suge’ Knight. He died six days later.
Afeni became co-executor of her son’s estate, which, according to The Sun , was estimated at being worth up to $40m (£28m) and also a library of unreleased material valued at more than $100 million (£70m).
At the time of her death, Afeni was in the middle of divorce proceedings from husband Gust Davis – who she married eight years after Tupac’s death.
According to reports, she filed divorce papers on March 18th but was negotiating proceedings after Davis requested alimony payments totalling about half of the money generated by Tupac’s estate, in addition to other assets purchased by the couple.
It is yet to be announced who will gain control over Tupac’s fortune in the absence of a will – Gust Davis or the rapper’s half-sister, Sekyiwa Shakur.
Afeni’s death was confirmed by the Marin County Sheffif’s Office in California on Tuesday, although a cause of death has not yet been released.

Samsung to give Korean Note 7 owners a 50% discount on Note 8

Samsung is offering Note 7 owners in South Korea the chance to upgrade their phone to a Note 8 for half the price when the as-yet-unannounced handset becomes available next year. According to a report from Reuters, the company announced the deal as part of an ongoing exchange program for the Note 7 in its home country, but there’s no word on whether the same offer will be made in the US. In a statement on Monday, Samsung said customers who trade in their Note 7 phone for either a flat-screen or curved-screen version of the Galaxy S7 can trade up for a Galaxy S8 or Note 8 smartphone launching next year through an upgrade programme. The news seemingly confirms that Samsung will be continuing the Note line despite the disaster of the Note 7, which was permanently discontinued earlier this month. According to Reuters, Note 7 owners in Korea will only have to pay half the price of a Galaxy S7 to get their hands on a Galaxy S8 or Note 8 next year. When Samsung was asked if the sa...
